Tag Archives: COVER CONTEST

The rabbit hole I sometimes find myself in usually starts with research. It might be the quote I’m going to use, who said this and what did they do or contribute? It can also be a headline or storyline that sucks me into reading more. Usually, I gain insight, learn something new, or think a new thought, all of which make my life more wonderful and that’s my goal for you too.

How are you making your life more wonderful?

A rabbit hole I found myself in while researching quotes about routines led me to an author/minister/televangelist I was unfamiliar with. A man named Mike Murdock who said, “The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.”

Is this true? And if so, what is the secret? How can it be hidden?

This led me to a book he wrote called, The Law of Recognition – in which he makes a case that what we seek may very well be right in front of us, in our lives, a part of our world now, however, we don’t recognize it.

Think about that for a moment – what if – the life you want is already here, only you’re missing it’s magic? The relationships you long for, are in your life just hidden from you by anger or fear or history? The joy you seek is simply a matter of becoming aware of the warm muzzle that seeks your hand, the friend on the phone, or the book on your shelf?

You are the one to determine these things however my job is to challenge you to think about things in new ways. What if, your future success really is inside your daily routine? How might you look at that routine differently or tweak it?

I would love to know how you go about it – I’m only a click away! Shawna@ShawnaSchuh.com

It’s February and there’s a lot of white around the nation. Skies are grey, the trees are bare and sometimes this affects our mood – my mood less since I paint my days in colour.

My mom used to say that it wasn’t smart to walk around with rose-coloured glasses on which I am now realizing isn’t completely true. Especially since I ran across this quote from Marcus Aurelius…

“Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”

Mostly I read about how to think positive, or think possibilities and I do and agree, but what about colour? What about using this simple visual tool to see your day differently, your environment and the people around you?

What would it feel like to bath someone you are gazing at in a soft amber glow? What if you looked at every paper you touched today with the colour of its importance rather than a stack of get-to-when-I can papers?

Recently I learned the importance of light when dealing with so much screen time and an associate showed me how to set my phone and computer up so that my screens change during different times of the day – more sunrise and sunset colours so that my body and eyes are not fatigued with the blue screen.

The point is that a change in colour and light can alter and improve your health.

So why not extend that to everything you see today?

Put a little colour on some normal or mundane things and see who life gets richer, better and more brilliant!
